On a post on her website Monday, the 31-year-old reality star explained her relationship with her husband. (Though the two were on track to get a divorce, she called off the separation after he collapsed at a Nevada brothel last fall.)

“I want to feel like I can text a guy I’ve dated in the past to see how he’s doing without it being weird,” Kardashian wrote.

“You need a break, so you can process everything, and you need to respect yourself and your own emotions. If it’s toxic to remain friends, you shouldn’t, and if you haven’t had closure, you can’t be friends yet. But it doesn’t have to be that way forever.” (RELATED: Khloe Kardashian Reveals What She Said To Lamar Odom After His Collapse)

“If my relationship with someone didn’t have substance anyway, we don’t need to keep in touch. I don’t need to stay friends with a guy I fucked for two weeks.”

“If it’s a relationship that served a purpose in my life, like Lamar, why wouldn’t I want them in my life afterwards?” she said. “Just because you break up with someone doesn’t mean you lose that connection.” (RELATED: This Might Be The Worst Lamar Odom News Yet)
